Assignment is to develop a Research plan for conducting research into “Impact of hybrid remote working practices on employee motivation and job satisfaction in multinational banks post-pandemic in the United States”
It is for the course of business research methods.
The assignment must be written entirely in 2500 words. The main body of the text should be in 12pt Arial or Times New Roman with 1.5 or double line spacing. Pages should be numbered.
The assignment must be written in Harvard style, with no plagiarism.
The coursework should contain the following elements(FOLLOW THE WORD COUNT GIVEN NEXT TO EACH SUBHEADING, SOME MINOR VARIATION IS OKAY)
1) What is the research project about and why is it important? An overview explaining what the research is about, previous research in this area and what differentiates your research from this, and why now is a good time to conduct your research. [400 Words]
2) What are your aim and objectives? Summarise what you want to achieve with the entire study (Aim), and the specific, short-term steps you will need to take to achieve this (Objectives). [150 Words]
3) What is the theory you are using? After a brief overview of theory that has been used in your research area, specify which theoretical body of knowledge you are basing your study within, and what are you using that theory to understand. [400 Words]
4) What is the context of the research? Give an overview of the business, industry, sector, country, etc. that forms the backdrop to your research, and explain why this is an appropriate context. [300 Words]
5) Research Philosophy. In which philosophical paradigm are you rooting your research, and why is this particularly appropriate for your research? Contrast your chosen approach with those you consider less appropriate. [200 Words]
6) Data Collection Methods. How and where are you generating your data and which tools for data collection are you using? Contrast your chosen approach with those you consider less appropriate. [400 words]
7) Data Analysis Techniques. How are you going to analyse your data when you have collected it? Contrast your chosen approach with those you consider less appropriate. [400 Words]
8) Ethical Issues. How will your research comply with the principles of ethical research? What are the specific aspects of your research that might raise ethical concerns? [250 Words]
The coursework should be heavily referenced, drawing on PEER REVIEWED JOURNAL ARTICLES AND BOOKS.
Make the assignment in the similar format of the COURSEWORK EXAMPLE that i have provided below, do not copy from it but make my work in a similar format and an even better one. Attached below is a Rubric for the coursework which should be FOLLOWED throughout.
Make it in subheadings like it is given in the coursework example that i have provided.
Read the modules/lectures that i have provided to better write the research plan. Remember it is a research Plan not proposal. Read the coursework Guidance as well for writing the coursework perfectly. Make sure the data collection methods and techniques section of the plan is formatted similarly like it is in the example i have provided you with.
AGAIN MAKE SURE TO MAKE THE RESEARCH PLAN VERY SPECIFIC TO THE RESEARCH QUESTION OF “Impact of hybrid remote working practices on employee motivation and job satisfaction in multinational banks post-pandemic in the United States”
For theory use appropriate models since this essay question is related to Human resource Management and Organizational Behaviour, which are 2 courses that i have studied in my university
MAKE SURE TO USE the books given below to write and reference some texts you include in the research plan:
1) Bell, E., Bryman, A. and Harley, B. (2019) Business Research Methods. Oxford University Press.
2) Saunders, M., Lewis, P. & Thornhill, A. (2019). Research methods for business students. (8th ed.).
Harlow: Financial Times Prentice Hall.
3) Fisher, C.M. & Buglear, J. (2010). Researching and writing a dissertation: an essential guide for businessstudents. (3rd ed.) Harlow: Financial Times Prentice Hall
Moreover MAKE SURE AGAIN THAT IT IS IN A FORMAT SUCH AS THE ONE PROVIDED TO YOU AS “CW2 example pass(3).pdf”
AND PLEASE KEEP LOOKING AT THE RUBRIC AND COURSEWORK GUIDANCE THROUGHOUT WRITING THE COURSEWORK.
Below this I’m giving certain clarifications for the assignment given by the professor:
1)You should be able to articulate relevant theories (and frameworks and concepts) arising in the literature that are relevant to my topic, and explain why they may or may not be suitable.
2)For the context of my study- Try to have a narrow, specific focus, looking at a particular sector or industry, and perhaps even a specific company and role within this. For example, if looking at SMEs or private sector organisations, then you might want to look more specifically at a particular type, e.g. Finance Industry or Accountancy firms, and even specify, for example, a managerial or customer facing role. Make sure that you clearly articulate the rationale (reason) for your choice, and justify this rationale with references to academic sources.
3)Good examples of this assignment will thoroughly justify the choice of philosophy and data collection/analysis techniques. You should talk critically about your choices and justify these in comparison to other choices available, the existing literature, and why yours are the most appropriate choices for your particular investigation.
4)There is no need to include the actual questions you are going to ask in your research methodology, but your data collection section should make it clear how exactly you would conduct your study, to the point that someone else could set up a similar study.
5) Different research philosophies are often associated with particular methods of data collection and analysis. Qualitative methods (interviews, focus groups etc.) are typically rooted in an interpretivist research philosophy, while quantitative methods (surveys, some forms of secondary data collection) typically stem from a positivist research philosophy. There are some students thinking about mixed methods; you may wish to consider pragmatism(s – there are a few different versions) or critical realism as philosophical approaches that transcend the (often artificial) interpretivist-positivist division.

AGAIN PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A RESEARCH PLAN, WHICH FOCUSES ON HOW I WILL DO RESEARCH ON MY GIVEN TOPIC.
LASTLY MAKE SURE ALL REFERENCES ARE EITHER JOURNAL ARTICLES OR BOOKS, BOOKS SHOULD BE THE ONES I GAVE ABOVE OR ANYTHING RELATED TO THE COURSE OF BUSINESS RESEARCH METHODS.
DON’T USE ANYTHING IRRELEVANT AND USE UPTO 35-40 REFERENCES IN THE ENTIRE RESEARCH PLAN SO THAT IT LOOKS HEAVILY REFERENCED.
AND READ THE RUBRIC AND THE LECTURE SLIDES FOR WRITING THE RESEARCH PLAN BETTER.
AND PLEASE FOLLOW THE FORMAT THAT I HAVE UPLOADED IN THE COURSEWORK 2 SAMPLE.
